The older you get, the more problems will come. They keep coming until they reach the limits of your human capabilities. You try every solution, to the point where you try to run away from the problem. The majority of people say that running is a solution to escape reality especially when you are at the lowest point of your life.

But is it true? To get rid of that curiosity, I finally tried to get away from one problem. Wow! What is this feeling? It feels so peaceful like nothing is haunting me. I’m finally free!

That’s the mindset embedded in this human brain.
But, are you really sure you’re free?

Just like turning your palm upside down, things are also that easy to change from before. Problems are not like nightmares that when you wake up, the dream just ends without any epilogue.

I always thought that every problem would disappear when I ran away from it. But all of that was wrong, it turned out that all this time they were the ones who hypnotized me to run away so that they could cover themselves from my sight.

When I was no longer under the spell, things remained the same or even became worse than before. So much so that I couldn’t move anymore.

Until I can’t run anymore.

What should I do? I was at a loss — .

I finally decided to take a step, I didn’t want to run anymore — I was tired. I tried to face one problem at a time. It was horrible, I never imagined standing on my own feet against so many challenges at once.

In the end, I won!

This is the peace I’ve been looking for, there’s really nothing following me anymore. It’s true, once you solve one problem — bigger problems will arise. However, I’ve been able to overcome it without running — I’m willing to give my blood, sweat, and tears so as not to return to the same abyss.
